This Corrupt Place We Call Home
This entire world is dying
It might be from all these people lying
Because I do hear children crying
They keep whining my name
So does that mean I am really the one to blame?
Am I the reason these children are so sad?
How mad can you be at someone who has done so much bad?
I guess I can only say that I am sorry for being something you hate
Can I try to change your mind or is it already too late?
I can’t really erase what I did or even try to get rid of it.
These mistakes feel like a bunch of nasty a** zits.
My life plans are over
I couldn’t even get help from a four-leaf clover
I’ll try to wipe away your tears
But can I truly remove all of your fears?
I’m only here to mend
So don’t try to be my friend
I’m not worth your time
I’ve done a crime.
I deserve multiple kicks to the face
It is only a case
Some say, “You only gain from your own pain.”
Yet I can still feel all this depressing rain
That person is dead
Why do I get to keep my head?
Why am I the one who is alive?
I shouldn’t have thrived
Hell is the only place I’ll be
It is just my cup of tea
So when I do die….
Tears are the only tears you should cry.
